"Don't you want me?"
She answered with an arching thrust against his hardness. He took it to mean yes. Easing up, he offered her his hand. She placed hers in his palm and rose off the couch willingly. They headed toward the bedroom.
The front door vibrated with a resounding knock, which was followed by
a blistering curse from Cage.
"What the hell!"
Jenny dove for the sofa, yanked up her blouse, shoved her arms in the sleeves, and fumbled with the buttons. She stuffed her discarded brassiere beneath the nearest cushion.
Apparently Cage wasn't worried about his give-away dishevelment. He stormed to the front door with his shirttails flapping and hauled it open with a vicious jerk.
Roxy and Gary were standing on the threshold.
"Is the building on fire?" Cage snarled.
"No."
"Then good night."
He tried to slam the door in their faces, but Roxy caught it just in time. "It is, however, a matter of life and death. If Gary and I don't get married tonight, I'm going to kill myself."

"Married!" Jenny exclaimed, stepping around Cage. Astonishment had overriden modesty. She had forgotten her mussed condition until Roxy's eyes lit up with amusement.
"Did we interrupt something important?" Roxy asked, batting her eyelashes with comic innocence. Cage's scowl deepened.
"Sorry about that, pal," Gary mumbled apologetically.
"Then make this quick and leave."
"Cage, didn't you hear what Roxy said? They're getting married."
"That's right." Roxy looped her arm through Gary's and squeezed it against her voluptuous breast. "That is if you'll go with us to El Paso and drive Gary's car back."
"You're serious, aren't you?" Cage asked, his eyes going back and forth between the two of them. He was just now recovering from his frustration. "You're really getting married?"
"Yes!" Roxy said, beaming.
"Well, hey, that's great!" Cage pumped Gary's hand, then gave Roxy a bear hug.
"Congratulations, Gary," Jenny said. Getting into the spirit of the occasion, she gave him a big hug, which made the tops of his large ears turn beet red. She clasped Roxy to her. "I'm so happy for you."
"Me, too, kid, me, too. He's the best thing that's ever happened to me. I don't deserve him."
"Yes, you do." Jenny smiled at her and they hugged again.
"Now, what's this about driving to El Paso?" Cage asked when the two women fell apart, dabbing at their moist eyes.
"We've got reservations on a noon flight from there to Acapulco tomorrow. Gary's so conventional," Roxy teased, "he thinks we should get married before the honeymoon.
"So we're driving to El Paso tonight to a justice of the peace. We want you to go along so you can bring Gary's car back, if you don't mind picking us up in a week and bringing us home. Besides, it'll be more fun having you there with us when we tie the knot."
